Hi Eddie, I first took my grandson fishing when he was 2 years old, then unfortunately they moved away, he is now 11 and I certainly have missed out on a lot of years with him. Now we have moved here to Canada and sure as hell I mean to play catch up. Can't wait for the next session, you never know I might even give him a run for his money....

Hey Radar, It was an awesome day and great to see my grandson catch fish however big or small, it always gives me so much pleasure to see him catch stuff and I can tell you he was pretty chuffed.... The blurred out face was actually at the request of the Carp...., he was obviously very embarrassed at getting caught....lol.....

I took my Grandson fishing for the first time in years and he certainly showed me how to do it with a little help......The first Carp weighed in at a little over 5 lbs and the second at 17 lbs, both were caught on two grains of coloured maize in 3ft of water. I managed one Large Mouth Bass that went about 1 lb...????

Hi Everyone, I've been invited up to Murphys Point near Perth which I think is on the Lake Rideau, Hoggs Lake complex. Has anyone fished here and could give me some information on species and tactics. The drive up is about 4 and a half hours from where I live so I really want to make it worth the journey. Cheers and thanks for any help.

I hope the weather improves and you can get out very soon.....

Hey Terry, Work stops me getting out all this weekend as well I'm afraid but I'm going next weekend for sure, not sure where to go and with out a boat venues are limited.

Me Neither, itching to get out there...

Hi Everyone, Just a quick note to wish you all every success in the coming Bass season. Tight lines.... Colin.

Hi ehg, Many thanks for the info, I heard it gets kinda crowded early in the year for Steelhead and later in the year as well so getting there very early in the morning is a must. I'll certainly give it a go for the Pike, Bass and Carp during the summer months and let OFC know how I get on in the near future. Thanks again. Colin.

Hi S, Thanks for the info, I did wonder if I was in the right place as it was in the Wilmot nature reserve but I found some photo's and it looked as though people were fishing from there. Will give it a serious go over the next few weeeks. Colin.

Hey Camillj, That's cool, thanks for the info and will certainly give it a serious go. Colin.

Hi, I use the Shimano Crucial and find it an excellent rod, its well balanced and a pleasure to use, coupled with the Shimano warranty I think you'll find it hard to beat.

Yes I was there today and it is very deep and slow running, there is also some nice looking water to the right of the opening which is surrounded by reed beds, looks very good for Bass and you could get to them in a small inflatable boat.

Ok cool, I'll certainly give it a go, thanks for the help.
